You can grind this out within the first 20 minutes, if you go over to the right there is a "Reset game" button. Press confirm and you can get up to 4 before all the annoying side-quests show up. A quest will have a purple squiggle above them and on the mini-map which can be opened up as soon as you start landing on a planet or after landing on a station.

Hold to skip all cutscenes including both entry cutscenes to the station.

Ignore enemies during the tutorial to save the rounds for later, loot the boxes around the last tutorial room for more ammo and chunks. Use the teleporter to exit and an un-skippable cutscene will play out.

Now spam until all the dialogue gets off your screen and warp over to a nearby galaxy and press on the planet to get a rare scan in case we need credits. Just run around scanning until you get a rare scan this will be plenty of credits if you get a pay to play side-quest.

Once done just press and scroll down to Exit game to save some time. Press to re-enter the game and go to Galaxy Map -> go to the station in the Galaxy. Go to sell and get rid of all the scans for chunks. Press Explore and hold to skip the landing sequence.

Now press and if there are no side-quests quit out and repeat the process. You can get one side-quest here which will be a side-game with no real strategy that works given how random they are.

Now once that is complete and your achievement tracker ticks up you can quit out. Now warp to another galaxy and go to that station, explore as usual. There will be about two/three side-quests depending on luck.

Don't have exact names but one will be another carnival game, kill all the space pests and clean up slime. Once you got those three done you can reset and do the process again until you finish up.
